While we were photographing bears getting some fatty salmon, I looked behind me for no particular reason and saw a pod of four orcas travelling very close to shore. Seals that observed us all morning were gone, hiding from the orcas.
I often mention to the guests on my photo tours and photo workshops to look behind them. You never know what you'll find.

Railing against corporate elites makes good politics, but it will only further divide Canadians"
"When Canadians head to the polls over the next year, they will vote in an election premised on unprecedented class-based rhetoric. At a time when precious little unites Canadians, pitting voters along socioeconomic lines for partisan gain is not only reckless, it further corrodes the public discourse. "

⚠️ "If you think naively that the #Russians don't care as much about influencing Canadian thought, penetrating the Canadian government at all levels — I'm here to tell you they care deeply about shaping how you think, how you vote and sowing chaos and discord,"
Canadians who .. assist in Russia's .. attempts to use disinformation, criminal and covert activities.... to undermine our sovereignty and democratic processes will face the full force of Canadian law"

#NASA study tallies carbon emissions from massive Canadian fires
They found that the Canadian fires released more #carbon in five months than Russia or Japan emitted from fossil fuels in all of 2022 (about 480 million and 291 million metric tons, respectively). While the #CarbonDioxide (#CO2) emitted from both #wildfires and #FossilFuel combustion cause extra #warming immediately, there's an important distinction, the scientists noted.
